Let's get real ladies....

I have been accused of wearing granny panties.

I don't think I wear granny panties. I think I wear cute, yet comfortable and practical undies.Like the ones pictured below.

I guess I was under the impression that these were granny panties...

So when they hubby accused me of this, the next sentence that comes out of his mouth is "you should wear more thongs". Hmmmm... I decided to try the thong thing out because of the super awesome wife that I am.  I mean, of course I have worn thongs... but not as every day undies. Only for special occasions or with really tight pants. but I figured I had permission to go buy some new underwear so off I went.

Alright ladies. Help me out here... I have made a pros and cons list for thongs... the list speaks for itself.

Pros

• Andy likes them... 

Cons

• They make it feel like I have a massive grundie ALL day long... OH WAIT! I do!
• They make the car seat feel colder when I get in
• They cost a lot of money for such a small amount of material
• I just don't think a girl my size should be wearing underwear like this... I mean, who wants to see that?! Certainly not me!
• I just don't understand the point! Why even wear underwear at all?!

Help me out here! Am I missing some of the pros?

Honestly, I think Andy should call it a good day if there aren't any holes in my undies. I mean, seriously... we are married and I stopped caring about the state of my under things 4 years ago! Plus, I don't see him going out and buying sexy boy underwear! In fact, I buy his underwear for him... and I go for comfort. Why are the expectations for girls different?

A short rant...

I know hearing me rant is probably the highlight of your day. Isn't that why you are reading this post? HAHA.
The long and short of it is... I don't know who I am more mad at to be honest... my dog (who is 2 years old... old enough to know better) or this boy who lives with me who's last name I happen to share.
Seriously. Can't I go to the gym without coming home to a living room floor that I can see? Seriously. My dog dragged an entire bag of garbage from one room to another... ripped it open and devoured it... along with some other random things that he grabbed off of our kitchen table. How do I teach him that this is naughty when yelling at him doesn't help?

Why was there a bag of garbage sitting on the kitchen floor you ask? BECAUSE Andy took it out of the garbage can but was too lazy to bring it outside. Why didn't I bring it outside? TO PROVE A POINT!  Well, that bit me right in the ass didn't it?

Where was Andy when all of this is happening? 1 guess... oh yup! you got it! Playing video games. Do they ever grown out of video games? What if we have kids... will it stop then? Or will I come home to a toddler playing with knives in the living room? Ok. I realize I am jumping the gun and being dramatic. But SERIOUSLY!

Now, they are both hiding out... Andy in the basement (playing video games no less) and Dillinger is in his hiding spot.

I DON'T CARE HOW CUTE HE LOOKS. THIS DOG IS ARMED AND DANGEROUS.

Fall Fest

I linked up at Fall Fest and I thought maybe I should post a few of the reasons that I love fall...

1.I love cinnamon. I love that its socially acceptable for my house to smell like cinnamon because my house smells like cinnamon all year.

2. Starbucks has the most yummy drinks this time of year... and though I have always been a fan of the pumkin spice latte, this year I haven't had a single one. I tried the new salted caramel mocha. 3 words. TO DIE FOR. I will never look back.

3. I love pretty leaves. I even don't mind raking them up.

4. I love being able to wear jeans and hoodies again.

5. I like to start shopping for Christmas. I like to start early. I am not ready though to see Santa in October. Can we wait until at least mid-november to start that shenanigans?!

6. People are generally happier. I think they may be coming off the summer high and the realization that 6 months of winter is around the corner hasn't quite them yet.

7. Fall is cheaper for us generally... no summertime trips, only a few birthdays, less itchy to get out of the house and do something.

8. You don't have to mow the lawn anymore and unless you live on the east coast, you don't have to shovel any snow either. (for the record, I don't do either of those things anyway. Andy does. I do the laundry... which isn't seasonal)

I wish I could've gotten to 10.... but I'm losing focus and ideas... so you only get to read 8

Happy Deviled Egg Day

It is national deviled egg day! SOOO in honor of this amazing holiday, I made my first ever batch of deviled eggs and brought them to work!

Not gunna lie... they are craptastic. But my co-workers are eating them (I think they don't want to hurt my feelings!) The next time I make deviled eggs I will allow the eggs to cool completely, using measuring utensils, and be a little more careful with the paprika.

Check out my new toothbrush!

So I know that I may be the only person on the planet that uses the free toothbrush the dentist gives you. I mean, why not? I get a new one every 6 months and I get pretty colors. However, this past dentist visit (actually the past 5 visits...) the hygienist suggested that I invest in an electric toothbrush.

My initial thoughts went a little like this "Whatever crazy tooth lady! Easy for you to have perfect teeth! You get free dental floss and toothpaste and in between patients you floss your teeth! Plus you never get messy with toothpaste spit because you have that cool sucker thingy". So instead of following her advice, I amped up the flossing... determined to make the crazy tooth lady proud of me. I was doing it about 3 times per week (which was a huge improvement for me) so I was expecting a perfect report card this time around. This, unfortunately, was not the case. Again she told me how much build up I had and how an electric toothbrush would really help. Then she hit a nerve. Literally.

Apparently my sever addiction to diet Pepsi and lack of tooth brushing skills has made my gums move away from my teeth exposing roots.  I guess my gums are the cool kids and my teeth are the kids with cooties.

So I sucked it up, did some research and bought myself this beauty. Its a philips sonicare flexcare+. Please don't google it. It was expensive... more than anyone should pay for anything...especially a toothbrush. I really don't want to be judged. So I know you just googled it because you aren't good at listening to directions... but I am really good at justifying the purchase of anything. Here goes this one. I had a coupon. And another coupon. And there was a mail-in rebate. And I've never paid money for a toothbrush before, so i kind of having a toothbrush savings account. It will last a very long time (hopefully forever). Are you feeling better about his purchase? I am.

Then I used it and found about 20 more reasons to justify this purchase. It times how long you are brushing and reminds you to switch to different parts of your mouth. It has a uv cleaning station to get rid of nasty germs. It ramps up to full power for newbies like me. There are like 4 different settings depending on what my tooth brushing mood is. It stays charged for 3 weeks before needing to be charged again. Yup. Like I said before, totally justified!

I've already used it once and holy moley! It feels like I just got back from the dentist. I don't know if its worth every penny but its worth a majority of them.

All I have to say is that my teeth better be happy.
